Why blog when you can watch telly?
So yeah, no apologies for lack of bloggage, I'm just gonna crack on.
Who's watching Gok's Fashion Fix? Perfect tranny telly, if you ask me. Fronted by one of my favourite people on telly, the man for whom the phrase "you go girlfriend!" was invented, Gok Wan. Any man who can get away with pretending to be gay* just so he can play with ladies knockers is worthy of hero worship. And in this new series he's paired with another up-and-coming personal favourite Alexa Chung. Her quirky slightly-blokish femininity makes her an almost perfect mirror of Gok.
In other telly news, has anyone been following the saga of the ad by Heinz that was pulled for being too gay?
I was amazed, I'd seen the ad and thought it had real charm, especially as it credited the viewer with a bit of intelligence "we're not saying why this man is in the place of the mother of the family, work it out yourself". The people who complained must have been morons, and Heinz are cowards for pulling it. We live in a country where gay partnerships are now enshrined in law, can't we show two men kissing pre-watershed? Especially as anyone with an ounce of sense would work out that it wasn't a gay kiss. I'm not surprised that there's been a huge backlash against Heinz by gay and online communities.
Perhaps that's what Heinz realised would happen, and knew that people like me would blog about it. Even so, that's a pretty crummy way to sell onion-flavoured mayonnaise.
*Well that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

D'oh!
Generally fab, although there's a limit to the number of times I can be told that a dress is "only" £200.
Did love the petticoat / grey skirt / sheer blouse combo though. Now, if I can just find that £200...
And speaking of...onion-flavored mayonnaise?
"Coming up next..."
"I thought I was going to say that bit..."
"Oh..were you? I don't want to intrude..."
"No..no...you've started so you may as well finish?"
"If that's OK?"
"Fine by me...just jump in whenever in future"
"Are you being serious?"
(forced laugh)
"ANYWAY...coming up next..."
"So you still want to do that bit?"
(Silence for 3 seconds before they cut to a clip of the Ting Tings)
Radio has more vivid pictures that television and the thought of Adam and Ian going at it, with Adam smelling of the deer and Ian having only just finished chopping garlic is just too much.
But hey! if they love each other who is to complain.
And it isn't as bad as the idea of Usha and the vicar. Or Roy and Hayley - that Roy muct be a bit think if he hasn't noticed that Hatley is not the woman he married. But then Eddie Grundy has been living bigamously for years and doesn't seem to notice that it is a different woman who came back from staying at her sisters in Great Yarmouth to the one which went away.
Oh yes - I nearly forgot - THINK OF THE CHILDREN
The current flavour of the moment, Alexa is too skinny and I don't know why shes held up as a style icon. Gok's a little too overexposed for my tastes as well.
